Yes. The PERF page is discussed in detail in the manual on page 139. And Bradmick has a tutorial video on it, as well. (The video was made just prior to it being released.)

I believe it was confirmed at launch that this is correct for how the MAN TRACK controller works IRL. I would imagine quite a few people have inverted the Y axis to suit their personal preference, and you are welcome to do the same.

The LMC is not going to give you a "point track" on the vehicle or ground. Use IAT on vehicles for that. You can expect some drift that will require micro adjustments to get the LMC moving where you want it to go. I use the thumbstick on an Xbox controller for the Man Track, and press the stick for toggling LMC on and off. I can engage LMC and release the thumbstick and it doesn't wander off too much, but YMMV. If you post a track showing what you are seeing, we can help determine if there is an issue or if it seems to be working properly.

The true test IMHO is to trim the aircraft for forward flight and see if the stick stays in place. Not sure about rumbles and shakes, but holding the trimmed position of the cyclic is where the magic is.

I highly recommend watching the collection of short videos released by Wags about the FCR, among other things. This video specifically talks about getting it setup for use in the front or back seats, but there are other videos there on how to use the various aspects of this sophisticated sight. Of course, there is also the AH-64D Manual that can be found in the docs folder where the module is installed.

After you do the uninstall/reinstall, if it still doesn't work, maybe describe more about what the issue is? "FCR is just not happening" is not much to go with when trying to troubleshoot your issue. For example, have you figured out how to equip it on the aircraft from the rearm menu?

You will need to provide some screenshots or something of what you are doing for us to evaluate what the problem might be. Are you truncating the MGRS coordinates so they are 4-digit precision, which is what the Apache is looking for? So parking pad 29 at Senaki Goes in as 38TKM 5593 8109 Which is right where it should be.

The new system has its pros/cons. It is nice to spawn into the aircraft with the points and route already setup using the new tool, but you can't access it again once you have spawned in, to add more points, etc. And for FC3 aircraft, this is very handy. You can save and recall "presets", but sharing this file with other flight members if you wanted to have a pre-planned route to hand out at the briefing is a bit cumbersome. One other aspect I like about using TheWay in the Apache is you can switch over to Attack Phase on the TSD and load a series of points as target points instead of waypoints. But sometimes the new Route Tool is all I need to get going quickly.

Yes, once you unload them from the back of the helo they show up in the inventory of the warehouse at the new location, and the palettes despawn in a minute or two. I was able to transport some missiles and rockets this way between warehouses. Very cool. It wasn't so obvious how to transfer bulk fuel, though. Anyone know how this is done?

If you are using Instant Trim mode, try using Center Trim mode instead. There have been complains of Instant Trim mode not responding in the game as quickly as you are moving your physical joystick, and this problem does not exist with Center Trim mode.

I replayed your track and saw the offset you were experiencing. I replayed it a second time, and took control after you flew to the AO and lased and stored the targets myself, and had the same results.

The MANRNG will still show 1500 on the WPN page, but the symbology will change in the High Action Display area of the IHADSS, to the left of the Field-of-Regard Box. You should see an "A" indicating auto ranging is active.

It looks like the boresight alignment itself is good, and obviously repeatable with the use of the snapviews, but you are leaving your MANRNG set to 1500 for the PLT and 3000 for the CPG. For close engagements like that with the gun using the HMD as your sight, I would recommend setting the MANRNG to 500m. On a side note, in a "hot start" aircraft, you do not need to perform the boresight at all; it is already done (perfectly) for you. Finally, I think if you give George enough time up front to get everything situated, he will boresight the CPG IHADSS as part of his startup procedure. Then if you swap seats with him later, you don't have to do it again yourself.

I think what they are looking for is a way to tell George to set a specific TGT point as his ACQ and then slave to it, then when he has LOS he lases it, not so much a search of the area. Assuming the target was stored accurately beforehand, this can mean he can already be looking at the target you are going to attack when you unmask, avoiding the search process with a list of many targets, some of which may be duplicates vehicle types, but off somewhere else.

Yeah, I noticed them recently and was pleasantly surprised.

You don’t get the symbology on the IHADSS properly.

It seemed to be working just fine, for a while...

The MTT Promote switch has two binds: Fwd and Aft. Once you have multiple targets tracked (up to 3) with IAT, each one will be flagged with 1, 2, or 3. Press MTT Promote Fwd to cycle forward through the 3 targets, and MTT Promote Aft to cycle backward through them in the other direction. To make use of this feature, lock up 3 targets and lase the first one. Rifle a hellfire at the first target. Continue to lase the entire time. Delay about 10 seconds (depending on your situation) and while the first missile is still in the air, rifle a second one. Delay again and rifle a 3rd missile. You now have 3 missiles in the air, all of them heading to your laser spot on the first target. After the first impact, continue to lase and press MTT Promote Fwd or Aft to move the TADS to the next target. The missile will track the movement of the laser and will now impact the second target. Then MTT Promote Fwd/Aft to the 3rd target and the last missile will impact the last target. Then clear your tracks by holding Image Auto Track OFS. The time you delay between your rifles will depend on the distance between the targets, if they are moving, etc. Wags covers this at the end of this video:

I was going to check out this new track you posted, but it looks like it requires some WWII assets.

On the Misc. Options tab, do you have "Force Feedback" checked or unchecked? Disabling that if you have it enabled.

Was this with Limas? Was target data already sent to the missile?

I remember threads a long time ago when tests were done to demonstrate targets off to the left of the aircraft would miss to the right, and targets off to the right of the aircraft would miss to the left. I'm not sure if this ever got resolved and this might be a regression, or if it has always been that way.

I watched the first of the two tracks. I think what is happening is you lift off and have George look for those targets and he finds them out beyond 8km. He lases the selected target and the missile gets the target data from the TADS, at which point George will not lase anything again. Eventually, you get within 8km and George says the target is in range and you rifle. Even if you tell him to scan the area again and select the same target from the list, he won't lase it a second time. Or if you have him scan again and you pick a new target, he won't lase again. To clear the missile data you have to either fire the missile, deWAS missiles, or switch to SAL and back to RF. When I have George using RF missiles I will sometimes have nothing WASed for him while I have him scan for targets and then force him to lase or not as needed. Then when I have the target I want, I switch him over to RF missiles and the target data gets loaded to the missile. It would be nice if George would blip the first detent to update ranging info periodically. (I know there are other threads discussing this in relation to using the gun.) Or, introduce another step in deploying RF missiles for him where he finds and ranges targets when you select them from the list, then on the first "consent to fire" command you give him he lases and gets the target data then waits, then you "consent to fire" a second time and he rifles the missile.

Can you run a short mission and post the track? I know there were some tracks posted earlier in the thread, but I got the impression they were long tracks where the action happened toward the end. Also, this may be that your 200MB of personal storage space on the server is getting full. Go through your attachments and remove some of the older ones or the largest ones to free up some space.

From the back seat (assuming you have a mixed load-out of Limas and Kilos), when you have the FCR as the active sight, it will switch to RF (Limas) and you can deploy those on your radar returns. If you have HMD as your active sight (i.e. not the FCR) it will switch to SAL (Kilos) and you can deploy those, as long as someone is lasing.
